As Storm Doris hits the UK a man runs naked through the city centre of Sheffield

The unidentified man was pictured wearing just shoes, socks and a backpack running down Pond Street as he braved 50mph gusts that have battered the country today.

Eagle-eyed photographer Scott Merrylees, who captured the unusual sight, tweeted: “Not quite the picture I had imagined as I set out to photograph effects of #stormdoris in #Yorkshire this aft [sic]. #Sheffield #nakedman #running.”

It is unclear why the man was naked but the stunt did raise a few eyebrows on social media.
